The pet dad, Abram Engle, shared a video on Instagram showcasing his cat Kurt's unexpected reaction to the fake kitten. Engle initially intended to confuse Kurt with the toy, but instead, the cat developed a fondness for it, treating the toy as if it were his own offspring.
The video, which has since garnered over 800.000 views and nearly 80,000 likes, features a series of clips showing Kurt's tender interactions with the fake kitten.

This adorable incident sparked a wave of reactions from Instagram users, many of whom urged Engle to get a real kitten for Kurt. Comments ranged from playful to heartfelt, with one user suggesting,
"Kurt needs and wants a friend. Do it for Kurt!" Another comment read, "Kurt is ready to be a father. You can be Grandpa. Kurt has expressed his wishes. It'd just be cruel to deny him now."
The overwhelming response from the online community reflects a shared sentiment that Kurt, having shown such paternal instincts, deserves a real companion.
